More pics....

I just finished reading SunflowerKat321's journal, and she posted some pics of her golden, Berkley.  He's just adorable! So, I thought I'd post a couple of my dog Percy....what a ham. Last night my daughter broke up with her boyfriend....and I'm so sad! He really is a sweet kid with a kind of mixed up family. When he would come over here, you could just see that he loved being around a "traditional" family (mom, dad, sisters, etc.). He was polite and liked what I cooked, went to church and respected Betsy. The problem was that they were really good friends first, then decided to become boyfriend/girlfriend....and now dd doesn't feel the same anymore. She absolutely cares about him and wants to stay friends....but as we all know it's hard to continue a friendship after a "relationship". I just hope things work out. She went to bed last night with tears....because she felt so bad for hurting him. I told her that stringing him along would have hurt him worse in the long run. She understood, but it still doesn't lessen the pain. He apologized for not being the kind of boyfriend she needed (awwwww!), and she reassured him that that wasn't the case. I am so proud of her for being brave and doing the right thing. She wanted to do it online, but I told her he deserved to hear it at least over the phone. This morning when I dropped her off at the bus, she told me she was glad she talked to him and didn't use the computer. It's so hard growing up!

Loved your pictures (especially the Chic-Fil-A--so you do eat out sometimes...) Sorry to hear about your daughter. Was she actually going out on dates with him? She seems so young. She did the right thing by talking to him. I don't think anyone would appreciate an internet breakup.

If they were true friends before the relationship then they can be true friends after the relationship. The key word here is true. Hope she stays friends with him or at least tries. Hugs Lanny

Mom, we are still best true friends...we decided that. I love him too much to lose him as a friend too..and I know things will come around again..I truely know it. It isn't the last of "us," and he knows that too...I told him.

Percy DOES look like Berkeley! Isn't it funny how dogs always kind of squint at the camera!

Your poor baby - her first broken heart. It hurts. My daughter got dumped by her first boyfriend. I think she's done for awhile (Darn!)

She did the right thing...I have teenage daughters & we've gone thru that too...it's hard on everyone.

Its so cool that you were there for her! I love when my mom talks to me about the problems Im facing. I know exactly what you mean about being good friends and then going out...its kinda weird. Feels like you have to be a totally different person. (which shouldnt be that way) I loved the entry. (I learned from it!) Thanx,-RaeAnn
